The Prime Minister of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Ralph Gosalves, confirmed on Monday his support for the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and the Government of President Nicolás Maduro in the face of imperial aggressions that seek to disturb the country's peace after the elections of last July 28.

During his participation in the XI Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America - Peoples' Trade Agreement (ALBA-TCP), Gonsalves noted that the validation of the electoral results by the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ), through the due process of contentious electoral recourse, which “has determined through the legal institutions of Venezuela the validity of the victory, in addition to having been validated by the different international observers, including observers from the Caribbean and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, all of this would generally satisfy any objective and rational group of people or States and international law would support what has been done in Venezuela”.

However, he stressed that “not everyone is rational and the fact is that in the history of this hemisphere it has been proven that the United States of America has a history of behaving in a manner inconsistent with the principles on which its own Republic is based.”

Gonsalves said that, “in the case of Venezuela, there is a class in the United States that is interested in appropriating resources such as oil and this has happened not only in Venezuela but in Latin America and the Caribbean,” stressing that “we still have to exorcise these political forces” from the North American country.

He stated that reality and facts must always be in favor of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela under any circumstance and in any objective analysis, but “history has shown us in this type of issue that we should not trust the word of the United States of America. They have no moral basis to teach us anything about elections or talk about how governors should be determined by the People,” he emphasized.
